Re: Ecs N2u400-aBenchmarkingWith it's price, the N2U400-A is poised against alot of KT600 motherboards, so lets see how it performs againt one. The setup is the same for both motherboards, except where noted. System tested as follows:
Software used:
Quake 3
With the board just in single channel mode, the N2U400-A leaves the KT600 board in the dust by around 40 fps at both resolutions. 3DMark 2001SE
Once again, the N2U400-A comes out the clear victor. Remember, this single-channel performance, so you can see that nVidia has a leg up on Via. SiSoft Sandra CPU Arithmatic
Here, the boards come out the same. The 6 point difference in the Whetstone test is within a margin of error. Multi-Media
ECS pulls out into the lead again here, especially in the Floating Point test. Memory Bandwith
Even in single channel, the N2U400-A still puts a gap between itself and the KT600 board. Clibench It's time for a second opinion, so let's see how things go with Clibench.
In the first set of tests, the KT600 barely edges out the N2U400-A, and is the reverse of what was seen in the Sandra arithmatic benchmark.
The second set leaves the KT600 edging out the N2U400-A in the number crunch, but this nForce 2 board blows by it on the matrix operations.
Without numbers, you'd never be able to tell the difference in either benchmark. While the nForce 2 does get the win in the floating point test, it's within a margin of error.
Intresting. I'd have thought the scores to be much more similar with the N2U400-A only utilizing one DDR channel. |
